Cecilia arrived back at her apartment.
Needing a respite, she allowed herself and two nannies a break.
Seated alone in the living room, she was lost in thought, her arms wrapped around her knees, shedding tears that she gently wiped away.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She stiffened and approached the door, hastily wiping her face.
Through the peephole, she saw Peter and a stranger who resembled a lawyer holding a briefcase.
Cecilia was slightly surprised by their presence.
She then realized that they were there to deliver the divorce agreement.
With a deep breath, she opened the door.
Peter, noticing her red eyes, couldnât help but ask, âWhy are your eyes red? Are you crying? If you cry, Mr.
Evans willâ¦â
Cecilia interjected, âHe wonât feel sorry for me.
If I sign it, we will be strangers.
â
Peter considered expressing his thoughts but, in the end, chose not to.
He found himself in a dilemma as he genuinely wished to inform Cecilia about Markâs illness.
He believed that this revelation might soften her heart, especially considering their deep feelings for each other.
However, he was well aware of Markâs temperament.
Mark didnât permit him to disclose it to her.

Cecilia allowed them inside, and they took their seats.
Peter looked around and said, âThe environment is good.
Did Edwin go to school?â
Cecilia served them ice water.
Nevertheless, Peter was not in the right state of mind.
Mark was still in the hospital, waiting for him.
After careful consideration, he couldnât bring himself to give up, so he cautiously asked, âCecilia, is there any possibility and you and Mr.
Evan could talk this out? Youâve overcome all these hardships throughout these years.
Do you really want things to end like this?â
Cecilia lowered her eyes, pondering the question.
After a brief silence, she softly asked, âWhere is the agreement?â
Peterâs eyes glistened with tears.
What was happening was utterly baffling.
Mark awaited surgery in the hospital, while Cecilia clearly still cared about him.
It was such a perplexing situation.
